Newquay - 423 houses

Nansledan is a 540-acre extension to Newquay currently being developed by the Duchy of Cornwall.

For more than 20 years Nansledan has been earmarked by local authorities as a way to meet the future business, housing, educational and health needs of Newquay.

Construction on Trewolek, the first phase of Nansledan, began in early 2014. The Duchy is currently in the midst of developing the next phase of the project, which includes commercial and retail space.

Nansledan is expected to take 40 years to build and over time it will evolve into a community of more than 4,000 homes supporting a similar number of jobs, with its own high street, supermarket, church, primary school and public spaces.

Bude - 420 houses

Binhamy Road

The first phase of this £90 million development at Binhamy Farm, between Bude and Stratton, was approved in 2013.

The permission marked the end of a long battle to prevent the 420-home development which even a government minister opposed, but for which consent was granted by a court to the disappointment of local campaigners.

Work on the first phase of four began in 2015, with the development due to be complete by 2023.

The proposals also include the formation of a new roundabout and slip on to the A30, a play area, a sports pitch and a general amenity open space.

Work is set to be completed by 2021.

Truro - 249 houses

Former Richard Lander site

Plans to build nearly 250 new homes on the 18-acre former Richard Lander School site at Highertown by 2020 were given the green light in 2013.

The secondary school moved to its new building at Gloweth in 2007 and the developer, Taylor Wimpey, bought the site in summer of 2011.

The £25 million scheme includes 40 per cent affordable housing and changes to traffic systems on the A390, which can be badly congested.

St Austell - 126 houses

Land west of Porthpean Road

The 126-home development near Porthpean was approved in 2013.

The controversial Wainhomes project also includes plans for 585sqm of employment floor space and public open space on green land west of Porthpean Road.

Locals passionately objected to the plans, stating that local infrastructure could not cope with more houses and that they should not be built on green land.

The Porthpean Road scheme is due to be completed next year

Phase two of the project, for an additional 131 homes, was approved by a planning inspector in 2015, despite the opposition of local councillors and residents who branded it “urban sprawl like the outskirts of London”.

Cornwall Council planners refused permission for phase two, but Wainhomes lodged an appeal and a planning inspector overturned the decision.
